Calculation of belt conveyors

Only the calculation of the conveyor (17 sheets), no drawings.

Belt conveyors are widely used in metallurgical, mining and other industries. I use them to transport bulk and piece cargoes both over long distances and over long distances. The simplicity and reliability of their design ensures their operation for a long time. Belt conveyors can be used in both closed and open areas, which explains their widespread use in industry. Conveyors are of continuous type and are characterized by continuous movement of loads along a given route without stopping for loading or unloading. Moving bulk weight is arranged in continuous layer on carrier element of machine - belt or in separate portions. The unit weights are also moved in a continuous flow in a predetermined sequence one after the other. Due to the continuous movement of the load, the absence of stops for loading and unloading and the combination of working and reverse movements of the load-carrying element, continuous machines have high productivity, which is very important for modern enterprises with large cargo flows. For example, a modern open-cast coal belt conveyor can transport up to 30,000 t/h of overburden rock, providing 10 railroad cars per minute.
